longtime coming said:Almost all beef grown in feedlots are implanted with a slow release growth hormone (as well as given antibiotics). It should be illegal. Many ranchers implant on-farm before the animal ever gets to the feedlot. While in the feedlot, the animals are fed grain which has been sprayed with chemicals to control competitive plants (weeds) and sometimes pesticides to iradicate insects which eat the farmer's crop. You should have known. Most people have no idea how our food is actually raised and then processed. And then there's milk.......
regarding the tariff on bikes: that is ridiculous and obviously a threat. Can't see 100% happening. How can beef have anything to do with motorcycles? The Europeans have every right to avoid eating North American beef, and we should have a right to fair pricing on goods.
longtime coming said:I raise my own beef too Indy. On grass. Not sprayed with anything for almost 20yrs. I am surprised that you seemingly support the corporate food industry. I'm also hoping that you didn't call me ignorant about this subject. It's only common sense that modifying growth rates and immune system function of animals thru the use of chemicals (produced for profit) can't be good for consumers. Obviously there are residuals which people eat. It is also commonly known that the average European is more educated with respect to the food they eat.
longtime coming said:In the past,very skilled men and women developed more productive animals through wise breeding practices . Recently, less skilled, informed, or wise people have found a cheap shortcut to simulate advancements with the use of chemicals, both natural and synthetic. It is the corporate mandate to eliminate all the good work of our ancestors and find shortcuts to sell cheap progress for huge profits. This obviously has not been good for producers, as profit margins have fallen in the toilet over the last 25yrs. Consumers have a right to safe food.
Since this is a dirt bike forum I'll leave it at that. :ride:
